Weekes: LA Kings Brandt Clarke on the move?

[bland]

Yeah, we sure are gonna swing for the fences with the $870k cap space provided by dealing Clarke...

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Panthers would be interested in Clarke or Spence. Imagine Clarke would we worth more than we’d be willing to give up though, and that’s fair

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Weekes used to be a secretly good insider but now he has swung and missed on quite a few things

His 15 mins of fame is done as far as being an insider

 

[LTIR]

When Doughty retires its going to be Spence and Clarke getting the vast majority of the minutes on the RD...seems like smoke and mirrors here


At 11 Million per for another 2 years after this one...who going to take him TO?

TOR likes their veteran Dmen.
Vancouver is always interested as well.

 

[WarriorofTime]

lol. Yes there are so many big bodied first line talent power forwards in the league. Outside of #1D and C, those are the most sought after pieces in the league. Saying how many under 21 is such a strawman question because we don't know who will be the best 5 years from now.

I think people just don't know who Knies is or something.

Sorry we’re talking about Matthew Knies right? I thought you were describing a star player for a second.

 

[Benstheman]

Exactly. Spence or Moverare are the most likely candidates for that

I agree. What would be the cost to acquire Spence?

If Byfield could be moved for a comparable D-man, I'd love a deal around Clarke and Lundell

 

[LevelingSolo]

Why would they move him?

It is Rob Blake though…

Sorry we’re talking about Matthew Knies right? I thought you were describing a star player for a second.

He's 22 years old, already a top line winger, and a power forward. He's by far my favorite Leaf I am not just putting him into a proposal like he is Nick Robertson. I'm offering one of the Leafs most coveted pieces here.

Like I said, it's cool if people don't know every player on every team but I wish they would say so.

 

[Leafshater67]

If the kings are really dumb enough to trade this guy, the Sabres should be all over it. They need RD badly and a puck moving one is a hot commodity in todays game.

 

[kthx]

Hard to see Bruins not trying hard for Clarke, especially if they are selling at tdl.

He’s tied for 124th in points. Like it’s cool if there’s a young guy on your favorite team showing he belongs, that doesn’t automatically mean he’s a superstar.

 

[MonkeysUncle]

Why would they move him?

It is Rob Blake though…

Why move him, Because this organization does not know how to utilize a offensive first player. They'll continue to draft some and try the square peg in round hole approach , but the results won't be any different.

I never once said he is a superstar why are you still saying that? And he has missed time twice this season, once with a concussion and once for a knee.

He's on a 31 goal 55 point pace again, playing a punishing style of hockey. Watch him sometime

In familiar with the player. Nice player. He’s not worth Brandt Clarke and frankly it’s not close. Watch teams besides your own sometime.

Knies is more proven in the NHL they are a year apart in age...

Anyways Leafs are on done with this

 

[3074326]

This wouldn’t make any sense whatsoever. But I’ve said that about the Kings before, so who knows.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

If they do trade him the Kings are likely getting a superstar in return.

LA Kings:
Brock Nelson (50% retained)

NYI:
Brandt Clarke
2nd

...you said Superstar, right??...does Brock Nelson really apply??...

 

[WarriorofTime]

What’s with the Kings infatuation for Andreas Englund and keeping him earning nhl checks? I thought the nhl collectively decided he’s not an nhl player back when his waiver exempt expired years ago.

 

[Michoulicious]

Jordan Spence is better.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

More realistic I should've said.

Superstar, that's possible.

good to know you represent the leafs haha. some people just dont live in reality haha

 

[tkb81]

So, why is Clarke a healthy scratch ?

Also, make Bergevin the GM so he can take Gallagher and probably give the Habs Clarke

Some dude named Drew doughty came back ..
